Simplified Meaning:

Every person owns themselves. No one else has the right to control what they do with their body or mind. Think about how you decide what clothes you wear, what food you eat, or what work you do. You make these choices because you are in charge of yourself. If someone tries to make these decisions for you, they are taking away your freedom. For example, in history, slavery was wrong because it took away people's control over their own lives. Slaves couldn't choose what they wanted to do because someone else had the power over them. This quote emphasizes the importance of personal freedom and respecting others' right to make their own choices. To apply this in everyday life, remember to make your own decisions and respect when others want to do the same. If a friend wants to study a different subject than you, respect their choice. Everyone should have the power to live their own life the way they want.
